The Central Christian College men's basketball team will open up their season on Tuesday, participating in the second annual Bridge Builder Classic, sponsored by Green Tree Village. The Tigers' opponent is Southwestern College (Kan.), from the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference.

 

Like last season, the game is being played at the Paycom Center, home of the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder.  Tip-off is scheduled for 12:15pm, with doors opening for 11:45am.  Tickets will be sold at the arena on the day of the game.

 

Coach Romero says "we are excited to kick off our season at the home court of the OKC Thunder.  Not a lot of college athletes get this opportunity and this is our second consecutive year we have been afforded a chance to compete at an NBA venue.  We hope this continues to be a great event we can participate in annually, that enhances our student athlete experience here in our program.  To compete against a quality program in Southwestern College is a bonus, as we feel it will prepare us for SAC play down the road."
